Yes. As I was saying, the correlation is a sort of virtuous circle; that the journalists who are known to write nice things were invited along and they might be given a sample product, a nice lunch or whatever. One did not have to be doing the journalism as a direct response to the lovely dessert one got and the delicious wine that accompanied it, but one might have been getting the dessert wine because of the lovely coverage one had been giving to date.
